Playful People Productions presents a teen/adult production of Everybody's Talking About Jamie, a coming-of-age musical by Tom MacRae (book and lyrics) and Dan Gillespie Sells (score), inspired by the British television documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16. Recommended ages are 13 and up, for subject matter and language.
Directed by Lysander Abadia, this smash hit follows Jamie, a young man who wants to wear a dress to Prom. His mother supports him, although sometimes in ways that prove problematic. His friend Pritti, who is bullied at school for being Muslim, encourages him to do what makes him happy. In addition to being a musical about exploring gender identity and gender expression, it's also about how we stand up for ourselves, and for the people we love.
